Please tag your post as a joke, not real, or similar. If you leave it in its current state ^[2]^, you are knowingly peddling disinformation ^[1]^.

Update (2025-03-06T01:45Z): OP has modified the post's body stating that it's a fake tweet ^[3]^. Imo, the title should preface that it's fake ^[1]^.

What? I haven't deleted, nor reposted anything in this context. Are you sure you aren't just getting a ping because I @mentioned you in the comment's references ^[1]^?

Just a harmless observation here, but I can't help but notice that liberals spend way too much time de-bunking, but not nearly enough time bunking.

Good question! I mean, I'm not suggesting that the left should create compelling, motivating, entertaining (but not necessarily "literally" true) content targeting low-information voters in an effort to swamp out fascist garbage. Nor would I imply that the time has come to use every underhanded, dirty, ratfucking trick in the book to make those voters distrust Republicans. Heaven forbid!

But I will say outright that in my estimation the left's fastidious, timid, mousy attempts to debunk the tidal wave of fascist bullshit is not working out very well.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 days ago

too much sarcasm i was being genuine. if you want to give me a real answer feel free but i literally cannot parse what you mean here :(

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 days ago

We need more viral leftist shitposting, and less concern about getting every single fact exatly right.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 days ago

oh okay thank you!

yeah actually a lot of my account is focused doing exactly that :) this is reposted, but my original content i try to keep very rhetorically effective—and i also fact check it (unlike this trainwreck lol)

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

i did, as soon as i had time. downvote to say thanks :)

I think OP is editing this comment ^[1]^ in bad faith:
